Graham's motto for serving students has always been, "Rough diamonds can become beautiful gems -- our job is to buff."

For more than 34 years, Graham has seen every UTSA graduate walk the stage at commencement ceremonies, helped more than 500 Ambassadors realize their potential and encouraged countless students to excel academically in the honor societies at UTSA.
